This 1965 Pontiac really puts the “Grand” in “Grand Prix”. This wonderful classic is a prime example of the big luxury coupes of the era. Hailing from Arizona, it is remarkably solid throughout and a real pleasure to drive. It offers a terrific ride with its generous proportions, 389ci engine, and factory air conditioning.
Let’s start with the underside of this southwestern Pontiac. The frame and floor pans are all in fantastic condition; it’s hard to believe this car is almost 60 years old! The body has had one repaint in its original color of Reef Turquoise. I think this is the perfect color for this car; they just seem made for each other. Notable design elements include the gorgeous tail panel and the unique front bumper that wraps all the way to the wheelwells. This Grand Prix also has the desirable Pontiac 8-lug wheels with brand new tires all around. Also note 1965 was the first year for GM’s full width perimeter frame. This gives a smoother ride with more safety than the previous x-frame design.
The drivetrain consists of the factory 389ci 4v engine rated at 325hp. As with most Pontiac motors there is plenty of low-end torque to really get this big car moving. The transmission is a TH400 automatic while the rear end is a 10-bolt with a factory 4-link suspension. The car is also equipped with power steering and power brakes that are very effective on this big car. Recent maintenance includes a new alternator, power steering pump, brake master cylinder, hoses, shoes, and wheel cylinders.
The turquoise interior is very inviting with its woodgrain features and bright accents. Like the exterior, this interior presents a great throwback to the mid-60’s but with a clean, uncluttered look. There are bucket seats in front with a center console while the rear bench has a folding armrest in the middle. The exterior lights, interior lights, retractable trunk light, turn signals, horn, radio, wipers, and parking brake all function properly. So do all the instruments including the power (vacuum) gauge at the front of the center console and the aftermarket oil / water gauges in the glove box. And finally, the factory air conditioning also works and is still an R12 system.
This Grand Prix has a ton of personality and seems to get everyone’s attention. It is a special combination of style, drivability, and condition that makes it stand out among classic cars. If you’re a fan of the big 60’s coupes then this may be your ride; just make sure you measure your garage before you bring this one home.
